I am running again.
running through the woods. I can barely feel the ground as I dart along the leave. its like I entered my way half way through a dream. I am running fast as if I am trying to catch or stop something.
I come to an opening of the forest, there is a field, and a playhouse or a dog house. I can't tell. I approach the back of it and see a snake. it's dead. But it began to consume itself making the ouroboros symbol walk around trying to see it from a different angel and then I see it. a dead body of a girl. The same girl I had visioned. she was gutted completely, her insides spilling across the floor. I begin to panic, I walk backwards and bump something. The growl. The fur. The yellow eyes.
I sit up gasping for air "holy shit" I say to myself.
I gather my things at the front door and rush to my car.
I pull up out the front of the crime scene. Crime tape. Everywhere.
"what are you doing here" I hear from behind me, that familiar cocky voice. "what are you doing here?" I throw romans question back at him with little tone. "I'm suspended, so I don't need to be anywhere tomorrow, figured I could use a stroll" he states "ah of coarse" I answer walking away underneath the crime tape.
"so your just not gonna answer me" he asks again arrogantly, I spin around facing him "I dreamt it" I finally answer. His eyes widened "wait really?" he questions shockingly "yes, really" I keep all of my answers short. "same" he says plainly "wait what?" I spit as I turn around to face him again.
He looked down at me, I mean he can't help he is like a fucking tower, I'm not intimidated though. "The girl, the snake" he speaks, I turn and walk to the small structure that had blood stained on the floor, it was still wet. I look beside it and a snake skin sat there, curled up.
"ok, we are not friends but I need you to do me a favour" I speak harshly. This was my only option considering we had the same dreams, he has to have something to do with it. "ok" he answers plainly.
I look at the moon. of coarse its full. I wonder if the Romani had anything to do with it.
I grab romans hand and lead him to the small house. "Stand here" I say while still holding his hand. I bend down and grab the snake skin, I rub it against the damp blood. I stand back up and look at roman I puck a hair from his head and he winces immediately, I give him a 'you're a wimp' look, I then pluck a hair from my head and bundle it all together "your not gonna ea-" I shove it in my mouth before he can finish his sentence "oh shit" he says disgusted.
I begin to hold onto romans hand tightly, "don't let go, and whatever happens, don't wake me" I say sternly. he nods slowly. I start to chant and lose all conciseness.
I feel the malevolent spirits surrounding me. "Nikolai" I speak facing a blurred outline of the old Romani I knew "Stella" he replied "this is exactly what I think it is right" I speak scared of the answer. "Stella, there is a third point of view, find it" he speaks again finally "these dreams mean something, they are all connected, be careful".
I feel my body drifting away "wait Nikolai, that doesn't help, what do I do?" I ask in a panic.
suddenly I am falling, through the sky, I can see mist surrounding the moon, its full. I see trees in my peripheral and then feel a jolt through-out my body as I smash into the ground. blood immediately erupts from my mouth, I begin to choke. feeling my foot being dragged, I look down and see the same yellow eyes.
I wake to face to face with Peter, my head is in romans lap as they both hover over me. There is the familiar metallic taste in my mouth, I look down and see blood all over my chin down to the rim of my t-shirt. "what the fuck was that!?" roman asks in distress "a more advanced divination" I spoke plainly, lifting my head from romans lap. "wait, but I thought you were upir" Peter questions in shock "well you shouldn't be surprised anythings possible, you're Romani and gypsy" I state, his facial expressions change completely.
"I'm not stupid" I say lifting myself up with romans help, "she's a witch as well" roman says smartly "shaman" me and Peter both snap at the same time, roman holds his hand up in defeat.
I turn to Peter "let me guess, you had a dream" I say "yep" he replies. "you're the third person" I mumble "what?" he questions. I quickly grab his arm and close my eyes, the first image that forms in my head is Nikolai, then a vargulf, then a snake, then a young boy chopping of Nikolai's head. my eyes shoot open "rumancek, of coarse" I speak "what?" he questions again.
"nikolai" I say earning a a puzzled look from him, his eyebrows furrow together. "how do you know that name?" he questions "old friend, he was my source" I answer, there was no point in secrets, I mean I'm gonna be needing both of them to help me figure this out.
"well I guess we are some sort of triangle source, the upir, the wolf and the shaman/upir but we will just stick with shaman so it balances" I say trying to connect the dots.
I walk to my car to get in. I turn around seeing Peter and roman standing there looking at me "well...are you coming?" I ask turning back and opening my door. They both walk up to my car Peter hops in the back and I secretly curse him considering I am going to have to sit next to roman.
I start the car up and begin driving. "do you guys know of the ouroboros?" I ask just so I know how much help they're gonna be. "nope" the both answer at the same time, I sigh, "the snake?" I add.
They both catch on within twenty minutes of me explaining. I suppose I can't blame them, I automatically had the knowledge.
We drive through the empty town. It's completely dead at this time of the night. I look around the town looking for anything that could help. The things you look for all ways seem to be where you don't expect it, and this seems like the perfect situation.
I look around the sky and then see a tall white building, it has romans surname on it.
and now I'm in a void.
Images flash through my mind.
Mad experiments, the ouroboros, the snake life cycle, a baby, and finally me strapped to an experiment table being tortured.
I wake up to roman screaming my name, the car is smashed into a wall and he is in the passenger side reaching for me. He has blood splattered all over his face.
and thats the last thing I saw before my vision blurred out again.
ok so I need this book to start moving so I am gonna try and update as much as possible. I am currently on holidays which means I don't have anything to do. so hopefully I can update at least every third day. I haven't edited this chapter so I apologise for the mistakes, I mean I feel like I don't have to say it anymore I know I'm lazy and I probably won't edit any of my stories, sorry.
yours truly, aileysh
cheers for reading xx
